A few weeks ago, a friend of mine put a post on Facebook about this book:

I am only halfway through reading it and my thoughts about teaching have been challenged, I have been inspired, and I have agreed with many, many points that Seth Godin makes. I am not ready to make a full summary or synopsis of my thoughts since I am not done reading it yet but I do know that If I want to make change in any education system (here in Korea, or the Philippines—where my heart has always been) I need to think about most of the points that Godin brings up in this manifesto.
As a student, as a parent, and as a teacher, we should all be asking ourselves…”What is school for?”
Exactly. I haven’t read this book, but my expectations and thinking have completely changed since I started homeschooling last fall.
This seems like the kind of book I would love!! I will have to get it on my kindle and add it to the LONG list of books I need to read… :T
Sounds like an intriguing book. I’ve been looking into homeschooling and this might be a good read for me.
